“TECH” DAY
A day of pride for the Techians
At around 3’o clock in the afternoon, the classrooms were emptying, no one was found to be in the canteen too; everyone seemed to be in a hurry and all the paths seemed to lead to the F block. The excitement and swift movement was due to the TECH day event, which was about to start soon.
TECH DAY is a very special day for all Techians. It’s the day when parents realize that their kids have grown to become responsible men and women. It is a day of recognition for those who have worked hard and excelled through the years and for a few others it’s the day they get to have free snacks and ice cream.
